Cable companies "will" do a credit check on you when you give them your SS number. Over the years cable companies have been losing a lot of revenue due to dead beat customers.
IMO I don't blame them for wanting everyone's SS number.
Some companies will accept an upfront fee instead of the SS number. This is a fee that will protect the company in case you fail to pay your bill.
They want creditworthy customers who can pay their bills. I see nothing wrong with that.
